Primary Groups

Primary groups are those which have a formal or informal claim on the names
associated with their groups or projects. They can reserve primary channels on the network. The
following such groups and projects maintain official relationships with freenode. Each is listed along with the namespace(s)
under which its affiliated users may be cloaked. Cloaks are special
"virtual hostnames" which appear on a user's freenode session to indicate that user's affiliation
with a group.

freenode attempts to verify information submitted on
group contact forms and tries to minimize name conflicts, giving priority to
trademark owners and peer-directed project groups. Due to the informal nature of
community interactions, uncertainties may exist regarding the ownership of some
names.

See Group Registration for information on
establishing an official relationship with freenode by
submitting contact information for your group or organization.
